Our students, alumni and faculty have contributed greatly to improving the health of our community. Our focus on the community and improving health disparities has led to an increased diverse, practice-ready workforce, as our graduates choose to work in different spheres of dentistry (~40% of our graduates practice in medically underserved communities following their first year after graduation). Feel like making a difference? You can! When you sponsor a space or one of the leaves on our giving tree, you are ensuring CDM continues to be a place where students and faculty can work together to create change – and where ideas can soar. The best part is, your options are plentiful. Look at the many options below to see how you can make a difference.
Giving Tree – Level of Your Choice
The donor recognition tree will enable you to donate to improve the lives of our patients, one smile at a time. Purchase a leaf from the giving tree and your name, loved one’s name, or even a short message will be engraved on the leaf as part of the Donor Recognition Tree. This tree will have beautiful leaves in copper, silver and gold and will be placed near the entrance to the simulation center for all to enjoy. Each leaf will designate those who have so generously gifted to the campaign. The leaves also make wonderful memorials to loved ones.
